OUCH: Hilde (right) was left painfully dangling from a tree [Wessex News Agency]

Hilde Krohn Huse, had been trying to put together a university project but was left starkers, dangling from a branch and alone in woods when her foot caught in a noose.

The 26-year-old, a student at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey, was stuck for so long her camera battery died.

She was only rescued when her cries for help were heard by a pal.

But despite the bungle, Hilde's 'film' has now been chosen as one of the films for a new UK-wide exhibition called New Contemporaries.

“I was convinced that I was going to need my leg amputated”

It is one of only 37 films featured and selected from 1,600 entries.

The 11 minute-long piece, now entitled Hanging in the Woods, was made on an island in Norway called Aukra, where her father grew up.

She stripped off for a bizarre scene in the film but it all went wrong.

Hilde, who is originally from Bergen, on Norway's west coast, but now lives and works in London, said: “After I climbed up I felt the rope tighten and I thought 'that’s not good' and I realised I couldn’t get my leg out of the noose.

"The film stops as my battery died as well, but I was stuck there for about half an hour.

"After I felt it tighten I was convinced that I was going to need my leg amputated or something as the circulation was cutting off and my body was absolutely exhausted, the only thing I could do was scream for help."

She was eventually found by a friend who untied her and she hobbled home.

But Hilde still has a scar where the noose tightened around her ankle.

New Contemporaries launches in Nottingham on September 18 and will tour the country.
